this is based on a true story about an under cover fbi agent who gets himself in with the mob to get leads and bring down the figure heads.
I really enjoyed this film, I've always had a soft spot for mob/gangster films, and this didn't disappoint.

Safe 7/10
Decent action and Statham doing what he does best looking tough and kicking arse. Let down by an obvious poor script and some cheesey lines especially the very last 2 at the end of the movie.

Lawless 8/10
Some of the accents were hard to understand.

Get smart 6/10
Laughs in this are not plentyful but overall was entertained.

Without doubt the very best cop drama I've ever had the chance to watch. While the story itself is pretty straightforward, it is the amazing plot along with the brilliant narrative that creates a level of immersion you don't always come across.

You guys and Roger Ebert really make me want to see End of Watch. Hopefully I can snag this one on iTunes...

The Last Stand - 8/10

Fun movie and it looks like Arnold still has it as an action star. In some parts I don't think the movie knew how to balance action and comedy, though. At any rate, even though Arnold is still likeable in his movies, I still wish he could act better.

He doesn't need to act better. He's an action star. Most action stars suck at acting but rock the $#@! when it comes to being a good action star. I.E Stallone, Van Damme, Chuck Norris, I could go on and on. Although it is a plus when you find that rare actor that can play an awesome action star and actor all at the same time. But not one comes to mind off the top of my head. But I know they are out there if I think about it. This is all opinion though.

"When I was 12, I milked my eel into a pot of turtle stew. I flogged the one-eyed snake, I skinned my sausage. I made the bald man cry into the turtle stew, which I believe my sister ate. At least I hope she did."

Stallone was great as Rocky though, so he has a slight edge over those other guys.

If it wasn't for the extremely horrible post production ADR dubbing in Cantonese, which makes the audio out-of-sync and sound funny, I would have given this an 8. Oh, the editing is really bad too. However, this is a solid action flick, although the constant shooting does get annoying, there is some amazing cinematography being put to work here. Some shots you can clearly see have influenced films like Terminator 2 and The Matrix. And I've been looking for a blu-ray of this movie for a very long time.

Shoot Em Up: 6/10

Again, almost the same deal as Hard Boiled. Except, $#@!ty writing. The plot felt like it came at you out of nowhere. There's no reason for it to exist, but Paul Giamatti tries hard to keep the film interesting. The music selection is pretty good in the action scenes, but overused at times. Also, Monica Belluci's tits.
